Jack Black mom & 5 kids pottery

This signed ceramic sculpture by artist Jack Black ©99 presents a touching and contemporary interpretation of motherhood and family unity. Rendered in smooth, flowing lines and minimalist form, the faceless central figure gently embraces five children, including one standing child reaching toward the seated group. The figure is cloaked in a serene, glossy pale blue glaze, while the children and face are left in natural ceramic tones, accentuated by subtle carved detailing.

This piece is part of Jack Black’s recognizable series of family sculptures from the 1990s and reflects both Southwestern folk influences and modern design sensibilities. The composition and theme make it a perfect display for collectors of spiritual, maternal, or artisan ceramics.
